This time we’re taking the music outdoors for a sun-drenched chilled soulful house journey! Spontaneously recorded on vacation in one of my favorite places (Carinthia), this mix switches the home studio to fresh air, mountains, and a compact portable setup. It’s all about smooth breezy grooves and world-class vocals →…
Building on the Soulful House Gems Flashback series, this time we’re revisiting 2009. It was still the golden age of classic soulful funky house music, and I hope to prove that with this week’s selection of tracks from 2009. Video version Audio version Art Soulmate · 2009 Soulful House Gems…

No words, just pure soul. Sometimes the music says more without any lyrics. For this 227th episode, I’m stripping things back to focus on the pure musicianship.
